dying alittlemore every day.

can i just start this off by saying that the holy spirit is SO real, he is in every situation- the smallest things matter to him.

so here i am, sitting with my papa at the funeral today and hearing all of these wonderful things about my great uncle, Dewey that went to be with Jesus on Friday. This man was cherished among many and gave of himself to each person he knew. he worked hard in the church and gave his life to the Lord at an older age. i know he's in heaven rejoicing with his brother, my grandfather,-- grandjerry.

but jesus spoke to me today. at a funeral.. remember how i said he is in the 'small' moments?

not just merely about death, but how REAL death is. it is more real than anything else we know and yet we choose to not think about it. at least i try not to. but that is wrong.. we do not know the days we have left here on earth. i could live for 75 more years or 75 days or 75 minutes. i don't know. the one thing I do know is that i am ready. thank you jesus i am ready. by his amazing grace we have been saved and promised eternal life in him. but when will we reach heaven? only he knows.

so that gives me a reason to LIVE. earthly 'death'-- is a reason to live. jesus' DEATH is how we live. but his resurrection means there is no eternal death if we believe in him.

what im trying to say is, i wanna live each day on earth teaching others about jesus.

i think its safe to say..
if i'm not telling someone about god's love and letting them know of all the great things he has done each day, i would be selfish.

what will people remember me by?
how many people can say that they knew me because of my love for jesus?
will people be able to testify that i touched their lives through jesus?

these things are heavy on my heart and thanks to Christian, i blogged about it! so be blessed..

be the change..

long for souls to be saved and lives to be changed.

this is my heart's cry.
